This Saturday I took some friends from the Mount Pleasant Photography Club to visit a couple of the caves at camp. We had nice cool weather and it actually didn’t rain for once. While we found a little bit of ice, most of it had melted. I’m guessing it will…
We were heading home, working our way North and East, and decided to head out to the ocean for our last few days. We have never had great luck on Galveston Island…but heck, let’s try it again. Our first visit to Galveston in the 80’s, we arrived very late so…
January 29, 2019 The weather wasn’t cooperating very well with us so we pulled out the weather map and decided it was time to head North a bit. We had spent about 2 hours in San Antonio on a trip back in the 80’s so we thought a full day…

Ohio can be fickle. Warm sunny January days in the 60’s can let loose a snow storm the next day. Then it just might melt away, only to be hit a few days later with another snow. We’ve had a few pretty mild winters in a row now, so it…
Over the past few days we have had one of the most significant snowfalls that we have seen in Bremen in a few years so I got out the macro lens…
I have decided to take a bit of a break from doing the 365 project. It is time to spend more time developing products and working on marketing and selling more of my work. I am going to attempt a 52 project again. When I did this in 2017 I…
